Happy Halloween!

I don't know if this is a trick or a treat, but I inked an old drawing I found from last year.

From The Vault #4

Hello, everyone! It's been a little while since I've posted a "From The Vault" piece, but I stumbled across this old image yesterday and thought it would be fun to re-share. This was a commission from 2015, in which the client requested I recreate the famous Jim Lee illustration from "Batman: Hush" ...

Behind The Scenes, pt. 3.1 - Thumbnails, cont.

Apologies for the delay, everyone. Trying to nail down how to explain thumbnails is a lot trickier than I thought, since for me it tends to involve a lot of concurrent trains of though, and it's quite hard to figure out which one is arriving at the station first, so to speak. The reason I've taken t...

Behind The Scenes, pt. 3.0 - Thumbnails

Good afternoon, everyone! First, I'd like to apologize. I meant to post this yesterday, but got carried away working on a commission and completely lost track of time. Sorry!

Secondly, Patreon isn't great about adding multiple photos to a single post, so I think I'll need to split this one up over...

Behind The Scenes, Pt. 2 - Scripting

Good evening, everyone! Today I'm continuing my Behind-The-Scenes look at how a JL8 strip comes together. Yesterday, I discussed story conception and outlining. In this update, I'll be discussing how I take that story outline and break it down into individual scripts.

Generally what I do is I look...

Behind The Scenes, Pt. 1 - Plotting

Good afternoon, everyone! As some of you may know, I'm taking this month off from producing JL8 while I attend conventions (FanExpo down, Salt Lake Comic Con and MegaCon Tampa to go) and get caught up on some commission work. However, I thought that that would give me a neat opportunity to do someth...

Escape THIS!

I decided to color that Big Barda + Mister Miracle commission I posted a while back, and thought I'd share. I also decided that it would be cool to offer as a print, so if that would interest you at all, feel free to 2017-09-08 17:22:21 +0000 UTC View Post

Kirby 100

Some of you may notice a "Kirby 100" thing floating around today on social media. For those unaware, today would have been Jack Kirby's 100th birthday, and as such, many creators are taking the moment to celebrate what Kirby's art/work/legacy means to them.

I'll be the first to admit that I have n...

Sketchbook Sunday #4

Good evening, everyone! Here's a little doodle I did a bit earlier in the week while listening to the long-awaited self-titled debut EP of Alice Glass.

For those unfamiliar, Alice Glass was the lead vocalist of the electronic duo Crystal Castles, but left the band after some...rather serious busin...

Comics Update

Hello, everyone! Just wanted to post a bit of an update real quick. There won't be a new comic post this week because the update sort of ballooned into two, two and a half pages. They'll definitely be ready before I leave for FanExpo next Wednesday, though. I really appreciate your patience! Thanks ...

FanExpo Canada 2017

Hello, everyone! I just wanted to take a moment to promote my upcoming appearance at FanExpo Canada in Toronto, ON next weekend. I'm really looking forward to it, especially since I don't make it to Canada very regularly, so I hope some of you will be able to make it out to say hello!

Sketchbook Sunday #3

I know it's not actually Sunday anymore, but y'know.

So I've recently been re-reading one of my favorite comics, Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane (seriously, it's so great), and was thinking about how MJ gets portrayed these days.

For a long time now--even as early as the initial Raimi film--it oc...

Sketchbook Sunday #3

Now, to be fair, this isn't something I did in my sketchbook, but it IS a behind-the-scenes/process thing, which is kind of what "Sketchbook" posts are meant to be. Here we have the pencils and inks of the first panel of JL8 #251. I was pretty happy with how the panel turned out in both stages, so t...

Sketchbook Sunday #2

As some of you may know, since I was fairly vocal about it, I recently read through the Harry Potter series for the first time (I had seen the movies as they came out, to answer a question I get a lot when discussing this). Without gushing too much about how much I enjoyed the series, it was definit...

From The Vault Friday #3

This is a little bit of a different "FTVF" update, in that it's a commission I just finished but wanted to share, so I guess this is more of a "Before It Goes Into  The Vault Friday," lol.

This was done for a client for HeroesCon, but I wasn't able to get it done in time, and finally managed ...
